Description of the problem	After filling tank & parking in garage, noticed strong fuel smell the next morning. Subsided once fuel level was around 3/4 of the tank. Next time filled up, same thing occurred. Called mercedes & stated possible problems with fuel sending unit seals. Took to dealership on may 24th and stated fuel sending units must be replaced along with fuel shut off switch and the fuel tank as well due to hairline cracks at neck causing the leak. Total cost is $3100. I have searched online & noticed this seems to be an issue plaguing these cars. I understand issues will happen, but given the nature of these & the broadness of vehicles affected that there should be a recall for this issued. I would like mbusa to reimburse me for these expenses.
